Right, then I think we really need to look at the issue in a more holistic fashion. You're essentially trying to make TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN irrelevant, which is a goal I thoroughly approve of, but it's pretty thoroughly baked into various parts of the codebase and I don't think it's going to be easy to eradicate. thanks -- PMM
